Title: GTS_1985 Mk 5 GTI Reflex Silver addiction
Post by: GTS_1985 on March 29, 2016, 10:03:44 pm: Hi All,

I have been meaning to post for a while now, as I love reading everyone else's stories on their motors so thought i'd share mine. With a little selfish edge to it as so many of my mods have come from the forums that this might help decide whats next.

So i'll go over what I've completed so far and then a wish list and hope to keep adding to it, as it's so addictive more so then the ink i'm covered in.

Jobs completed

1. Stage 1 Remap
2. Scorpion Catback
3. 30mm H&R lowering springs
4. GTI seat handle inserts
5. Matt Black front VW badge
6. Piper cold air intake, still using OEM box with piper cross filter
7. Sprayed engine cover
8. Tow Ring
9. Magnetic sump plugs
10. Stubby aerial
11. Chrome GTI rest pedal
12. Carbon wrap centre console and rear badge inserts

To Do

1. New pads and Discs
2. Rear valance and skirts body coloured
3. Window tints
4. Braided break lines
5. Pop up boot
6. Wheel Spacers
7. Diverter Valve
8. Dash cam
plus much more probably......

I'll attach a few photos (if it will let me) but it is very much a work in progress, especially after seeing some of the projects on here......!!!

Post by: GTS_1985 on April 11, 2016, 10:22:35 am: After the trouble I had with the Piper cross I've taken the executive decision to go full intake and purchased a Revo system, so that went in yesterday! Anyone got one??...the sound is mental compared to any previous I've had, so satisfying when youcput your foot down
